First of all the reason a lot of people don't like the prequels is because you don't have a Luke Skywalker or a Han Solo. Before the films came out I was thinking that these films won't go as great as the original trilagy because they take place in a totally different time period and that everyone knew the Star Wars galaxy. But then the prequels come and we see different things that we have never seen before. Plus your dealing with a different story than the original trilagy. This new trilagy is not about how good triumphs over evil. That is not until Return Of the Jedi. These films are about how it all came to be in the original trilagy.
I mean we get to visit the senate and the center of the galaxy and we are seeing very suffisticated places that we never seen before that only computers can accomplish. And we are seeing very suffisticated aleins that we have never seen before aswell. I mean the scope of these movies are vast as when we get all the way up to episode 4 every thing is real small! Theres is hardly any scope to it.
I mean finally when we watch the old trilagy we will know what they are talking about when they mention the Clone Wars or the senate and we will understand when Luke is saying I live a dimly lit cornor of the galaxy that he really does live in a rather dimly lit cornor of the universe.
All the new films are doing is connecting the bridge to the original trilagy in how all of the stuff we saw in the original trilagy came to be. So your not going to get anything original your just going to get an explanation on how it happen. And I think Lucas is doing superb job at it. I think that anyone who hates the first film just doesn't understand the story. And that is my opinion.
